As we roll into spring 2012, here’s the latest in our Local Film Series that features and promotes small, independent, non-commerical ski flicks. Why spend piles of dollars to go see a glorified commercial when there’s “flickering-light-stoke” that’s not trying to sell you anything, and which is available free from the comfort of your office chair?

For a while I didn’t either, but when boarders started getting face shots on film I was like: “oh……um…..ok……wow……I get it”

I still think its a bit silly for skiers because all I can think about is how awkward it must be to ski with a pole in the air…but for now I’m giving boarders a stamp of approval for the pole cam.

POV is definitely a compromise across the board (no pun intended). Helmet cams on snowboarders are meh too IMHO, as standing sideways facing down the fall line translates into too much camera movement. The edit was meant for a POV contest though….

Very nice vid. Was well edited, eventhough I am not a boarder (strickly 2planks) it was very interesting. Haven’t been to the big B in sometime. Since I was in high school. Many moons ago. Looked pretty soft. And a good time was had by all. (that’s what’s important!!)
